Counselling in Port Coquitlam & Vancouver, BC
Anger Management
Learn healthy ways to understand, express, and regulate your anger without shame.
Signs That Anger Is Becoming a Problem
Anger is a normal, healthy emotion. It becomes a problem when it feels out of control, shows up too often, or damages your relationships, work or sense of self.
Common signs include:
Frequent irritability, frustration or a "short fuse"
Outbursts such as yelling, slamming doors or saying things you later regret
Feeling tense, hot, shaky or a racing heart when angry
Holding anger in until it explodes, or expressing it through sarcasm or silence
Arguments that keep repeating with a partner, family member or coworker
Guilt or shame after angry episodes
Anger often sits on top of other feelings like hurt, fear or stress. You can read more in understanding the roots of your anger.
When to Get Help for Anger
It may be time to reach out if anger is hurting your relationships, causing problems at work, leaving you feeling guilty or out of control, or if people close to you have expressed concern. HealthLink BC also offers practical tips on stress management, which often goes hand in hand with managing anger.
